Oh, we DEFINITELY agree on the sexism angle. No one is harping after Melania (or Marla! Or Ivana!) for comment on her husbands’ sexual ‘sexploits’ and assaults. I just feel uncomfortable with the villainization of Monica as the harpy. She took the brunt of social backlash when that happened, and the other two…

At the bare minimum, she could say nothing. And I agree, media loves to hound Hillary about her husband’s actions, but he also got indignant earlier this year on CBS and insisted he did nothing wrong. We’ve all come a long way in how we view power dynamics in the last 20-30 years. These responses do not show that. Am…

THIS. It’s not about age. It’s about the unspoken pressure of dealing with a President. Even if she was genuinely into it, she did not have the same amount of power in this relationship by a LONG shot. I voted for Hillary, because I sure as shit wasn’t voting for Trump, but this is a BAD TAKE that she just can’t seem…

I stg, I almost asked on the Facebook today for people’s favorite BC recipe. I cannot WAIT to make this! I always have blue cheese and mayo in the fridge; must buy some sherry. Thank you, thank you! 

Yes. I have 4 nieces, and one was very shy (shyer than I was). They’d always say ‘Hug Auntie Lori goodbye’ and I’d always say, to HER, “That’s okay! You don’t have to hug ANYONE (without shouting that last word).” I’d give her a smile and a wave. Now that she’s older, she runs up and hugs me, but if she never hugged…

That’s helpful--thanks for sharing! I have a young nephew and am doing what I can to help him be a good person. I was a shy kid forced to hug and kiss people when I didn’t want to-- breaking that cycle.

Same re: This is Us. It doesn’t even hide the attempted emotional manipulation. 

I’m so sorry that happened to you! And men think we overreact by ignoring their ‘hello, beautiful’ come-ons. Ugh.

My food poisoning kicked in within hours of having one of the best Chinese food meals I’d ever had. I noticed someone in the kitchen dropped a rag on the filthy floor and put it back on the counter, but this was honestly some of THE most delicious food that I shrugged it off and kept eating. My friend & I went to a…

Yikes! I did not know that part of the legend. 

I read this book a few years ago and booked him on a radio show I produced. It helped make so much sense of my reactions to ‘rejection,’ perceived or otherwise. It really helped me learn how to avoid the old patterns (shutting down, silent treatment, not recognizing boundaries) that I’d learned in childhood. I found…

I’ve never read a more apt description of that saccharine sycophant’s stupid show.

He’s lucky she let him live!! 

So true! His character was a shit husband, though as a kid of divorced parents, I was entranced by the idea of a dad who actually WANTED to spend time with his kids. As I got older I realized he was a damn boulder around Sally’s neck. 

My mom rescued a terrifed black kitten from the middle of a busy road in Tulsa, Harvard Ave. She named her Harvey and she is a big smudgy smush. Stupid Weinstein!! 

Yes- I wish they’d do this EVERY DAY. Why keep capitulating to these LIARS!?

We lived in constant fear of eviction, as my mom moved us into a house we could not ever realistically afford (but she was going to make it rich any day now and we’d be set. Spoiler alert: that never happened). She literally forbade us from answering the door if we didn’t know the person, so I constantly have the…

A friend of mine is a producer for this show, and mentioned how many people are applying. Yes, it’s truly fucked up that we’re in this state, but I kind of enjoyed watching it. Torpey seems empathetic and I feel like this whole WORLD has gone super absurd at this point, so why not a game show!? Next up: Handmaid’s…

We regularly bring our electric kettle and French press (along with our favorite coffee), because we can’t always count on coffee being available in the room. We used to bring a hot plate and small saute pan to make breakfast, but now I prefer to just sleep in and get an early lunch. Depends on how much energy we have…

I find this response better than the ‘Gosh, (the accused) was never anything but nice to me.’
